25. Let their habitation be desolate; Let none dwell in their tents.
26. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; And they tell of the sorrow of those whom thou hast wounded.
27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity; And let them not come into thy righteousness.
28. Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And not be written with the righteous.
29. But I am poor and sorrowful: Let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30. I will praise the name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31. And it will please Jehovah better than an ox, Or a bullock that hath horns and hoofs.
32. The meek have seen it, and are glad: Ye that seek after God, let your heart live.
